A hop with moderate bittering power, but great aromatics too. It is a cross between Whitbread Goldings Variety and North American male hops. Somewhat similar to Fuggle (British), but slightly sweeter, and usually providing a softer bitterness in beers of all types. With its slightly higher alpha content, it represents good value for bitterness if a beer recipe demands aroma hops for all the bittering element. This variety has a potential not yet fully exploited, to provide excellent beer flavours.
